Ducati to introduce new Streetfighter

Unveiling to take place November 3 at EICMA show

Ducati has all but confirmed it will introduce a naked version of its World Superbike Championship-winning 1098 superbike.

Visitors to Ducati’s home page will be treated to a teaser video showing off the curves of the new bike. The brief clip ends with the word “Streetfighter” and the message “Ducati.com – Monday 3 November - 7pm GMT”. That date would place the unveiling at the EICMA show in Milan, Italy.

While some may think that a Ducati 1098 Streetfighter, as it allegedly being called, would steal sales from Ducati's current range of Monsters, the bike appears to instead have other targets in its sights, including Triumph, Aprilia and KTM.
